Is Rap A Genre - Rap? - Quora

Is it a genre That’s what I think there’s an answer to. To me, rap means what it has been to people for a long time.

What do you like

I like to think of myself as a poet. A lot of artists and writers tend to be really, really hard-core. And I’m not trying to offend anyone or anything. I’m just trying to do as much as I can to put my stamp on it and the way in which it is written. I’m more than just a writer, but a thinker as well, a thinker of poetry.

I’m all for freedom of expression. I enjoy writing it, just as much as anybody else will. But for certain people, it’s not what they want. It is what the culture is telling them to do they are free to do. They are free to have their own voice, to be creative in their own ways.

In your debut album, Wisdom of the Crowd, you were asked to write, sing or compose your own lyrics for the live show. Do you consider it a creative decision - writing lyrics for the live show for years before finally taking the stage, or are you just a producer making a living off the stage

Actually, I didn’t write lyrics for the live show, and I was making music for a living. Sometimes you can make a living off the stage, and sometimes you don’t. So I’m just trying to continue to get my own ideas and work with a lot of different musicians and people all over the world. I think that it doesn’t matter what position you are in a band or where you go to university, at every level you must always look for ways to continue being creative.

In the end, what’s the process like

I know what everybody says to me at the beginning, but it’s kind of a slow process. Like everything else you do that’s a little bit different. I’m happy to write my own songs. I work on my guitar, I write a bit of melodies that really kick up a beat, and then I’m not doing it that way or anything. I still get a break. All that’s there for me is making music out of my soul. I do it when I feel like I have a chance to do things that I want to. I just play myself.

In 2013, you became an artist once again. Has that influenced your style
